PEDAL LOCK.

Application filed January 9, 1922. Serial No. 528,034.

To all whom it lnm/ concern:

Be it known that I, ELDRED B. lVinnni-zson, Citizen` of the United States, residing at Houston, in the county of Harris and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Pedal Lock, of -which the following is a specification.

i rEhis invention relates to new and useful improvements in a pedal look.

One object of the invention is to provide a lock of the character desoribed which has been specially designed for use in looking the pedals of motor vehicles to prevent the theft or unauthorized use of said vehicle.

Another object of .the invention is to provide a look of the character described which is of simple construction and may be cheaply and easily manufaotured, and which is eifective in use.

With the above and other objects in view the invention has particular relation to certain novel features of construction, operation and arrangement of parts, an example of which is given in this speoification and illustrated in the accompanying` drawings, whereinz- Figure l. representsa plan view of the look. Figure 2 shows an end view.

Figure 3 shows a seotional view taken on the line 3, 3 of Figure 1, and

Figure ll shows a plan view of the look as applied to the vehicle pedals.

In the drawings, the numeral l designates i the lock bar Which in use is supported by the legs 2, 2 and one edge of which is forined with the notches 3, 9. tive ends of this bar are the lockingI arms 4, 4 which when in looking position lie adjacent the lock bar 1, as shown in Figure 1 f Hinged to the respec! and which are provided with the notches 5, 5 which register with the notches 8, said registering notches receiving the respective pedals 6, 6. The inner ends of the arms 4 are outwardly turned, said outwardly turned ends being indicated by the numerals 7 and 8 and being forlned with registering notches as 9 which receives the niiddle pedal 10.

The outwardly turned end 8 has a slot 11 cut therethrough to receive the projection 12 of the outwardly turned end 7, thus providing means whereby said arms may be looked together by the use of any suitable look as 13.

The type of look herein shown will securoly prevent the Operation of the vehicle pedals and will prevent the vehicle from being used.

What I claim is: i A pedal lock including a look bar, end legs forined integrally with said bar and adapted to rest on the vehicle floor, and sup? port said bar, one edge of said bar being formed with spaced notohes, a look arm hinged to each end of said bar and adapted to lie alongside the bar, and formed with notches which register with the notohes of the bar when in locking position, the free ends of said arms being outwardly turned and formed with registering' notohes saidV arms: being inovable toward and from each other in the common plane of the bar, one of said outwardly turned ends having a slot, a projection carried by the otherend which Vprojects through vsaid slot when the device is in locking position, means for locking said projeotion against withdrawal from the slot, and upwardly turned end grips carried by the lfree ends of said arms.

In testimony whereof I have signed iny name to this specification.
